Scientists fathom unexplored depths off South Australia - February 2008
The mystery behind small balls of natural tar washed up on SA's South-East beaches may be solved by Marine Innovation SA scientists who leave from Hobart today (Monday, Feb 4) on a million expedition on the Marine National Facility Research Vessel, Southern Surveyor. Marine experts and geo-scientists from SARDI, PIRSA, Flinders University, University of Adelaide and the South Australian Museum will study the deep water canyon systems in Southern Australia during the three-week voyage. The tar balls may be linked to oil bearing sediments at the base of the canyon slopes. Expedition leader, SARDI's Dr David Currie, says it is imperative that the importance to regional productivity of the canyons is understood before a need arises to manage any other activity.
